Château L'Évangile and its rich history
Château L'Évangile is one of the historic estates of the Pomerol appellation in Bordeaux. The estate was already mentioned in the 18th century under the name “Fazilleau” before receiving its current name in the 19th century. Since 1990, Château L'Évangile has belonged to Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), a guarantee of absolute quality and care for the terroir. The vineyards border directly on those of the renowned Château Pétrus, which emphasizes the exceptional character of this location.
Location, climate and wine style in Pomerol
Pomerol is located on the right bank of the Bordeaux region and enjoys a temperate maritime climate. The soils consist of clay and gravel with ferrous sublayers, which contributes to the power and elegance of the Merlot. Château L'Évangile produces wines with depth, finesse, and exceptional aging potential. The 2024 vintage benefited from a complex growing season with mild summers and a long ripening period.
Grapes, harvest and vinification of Château L'Évangile 2024
The blend of the 2024 vintage consists of 80% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. The buds developed in late March, flowering occurred around June 6, and véraison (color change) began on August 1. The harvest took place from September 18 to October 2, carefully spaced to ensure optimal ripeness. Despite the humid spring and coulure during flowering, quality remained high thanks to meticulous care and organic practices. The grapes were vinified plot by plot and subsequently aged in French oak barrels with a balanced use of new wood.
Color, aroma and taste of Château L'Évangile 2024
In the glass, Château L'Évangile 2024 displays a deep ruby red color with purple reflections. The bouquet opens with notes of black cherries, fresh figs, graphite, and a hint of violets. Swirling reveals aromas of cedarwood, fresh herbs, and subtle mineral accents. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet polished, with silky tannins and precise acidity. The long finish carries notes of mocha, plums, and a hint of white pepper. The Château L'Évangile 2024 showcases the power of Pomerol with a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

The 2025 L'Evangile is showing well, bursting with aromas of sweet cherries, dark berries, spices and licorice, framed by nicely integrated oak. On the palate, it's medium- to full-bodied, with a rather rich, powerful profile, built around ripe but youthfully structuring tannins. It's a blend of 87% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Franc, some 40% of which is being matured in foudre. The vintage conditions, which produced very small berries (as little as 0.6 grams for Cabernet Franc growing on gravel), have delivered an Evangile of unusual density.

The aromas of blackberries, black olives and hints of tobacco and dried fruit are fascinating and enticing. It’s medium- to full-bodied with creamy and polished tannins and a savory finish. Turns refined and focused after the layered fruit. Classic in character, with a caressing texture and balance. Hints of ripe fruit and freshness at the same time. 86% merlot, 13% cabernet franc and 1% cabernet sauvignon.

From: Hot Body, Cold Blood: 2025 Bordeaux En Primeur (May 2026)
The 2025 L'Évangile has been given new impetus by winemaker Juliette Couderc. It is initially backward, but it really comes forth with a few swirls of the glass: black cherries, mint and juniper berries, just a hint of truffle, quite vibrant and vivacious. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, a fine bead of acidity, superb minéralité, as if there were a bit of limestone soil, but there is none. Very saline on the aftertaste with impressive length. This is a marvellous L'Évangile given the growing season, and it seems imbued with so much personality.
- By Neal Martin on May 2026
Since her arrival at L’Evangile, Juliette Coudert has addressed some of the issues that had been affecting quality, as well as implementing changes in élevage. She has not only taken the wines to a higher level but also imbued L’Evangile with personality.
“In 2025, it was a regular spring and an even flowering,” Couderc said. “There was less than 40 mm of rain throughout the summer. In 2022, there was three times as much rain. There was more rain in July ‘25 on the Left Bank. We were worried because we could see that the berries were small—0.7 g, around 30% less than normal. But we did not have a heat wave like in 2022, so we started picking on August 26. The Grand Vin is raised in 40% foudres, 40% new oak and some amphora.”

Chateau l'Évangile is a Bordeaux house located on the very famous Pomerol plateau. The winery owned one of the first vineyards of the Pomerol. The Château L'Évangile estate was founded by the Léglise family from Libourne. They were actively involved in the construction of the vineyards of Pomerol in the middle of the 18th century. L'Évangile appeared in the 1741 register under the name of Fazilleau.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the estate was already close to its current state, with an area of about 13 hectares, when it was sold to a lawyer named Isambert. This lawyer named the estate "L'Évangile". The estate was purchased in 1862 by Paul Chaperon. His descendants, the Ducasse family, remained the owners of the estate until 1990. Paul Chaperon continued to build the estate's reputation and built the residence of L'Évangile in the style of the Second Empire. In the second edition of Cocks Féret in 1868, L'Évangile is listed as a "Premier Cru du Haut-Pomerol".
After the death of Paul Chaperon in 1900, the estate was run by his descendants. In 1957, Louis Ducasse took over the estate, which had fallen into disrepair at the time and was also damaged by the frost in 1956. He managed to replant the vineyard and eventually restore it to its former glory. In 1982, his widow Simone Ducasse continued to manage the estate.
In 1990, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) acquired the L'Évangile estate from the Ducasse family. They wanted to ensure that the property was maintained to the same high standards as DBR's. The initial influence of DBR (Lafite) included a more refined selection of the Grand Vin and the creation of Blason de L'Évangile as a second wine. Much work was also done to improve the vineyard with a restoration and (partial) renewal plan launched in 1998. The complete renovation of the barrel room and cellar, which was completed in 2004, completed the new state of the property.
The vintages from 1995 to 2005 were a very remarkable decade and crowned the successful work. The vintages 1995, 1996, 2000 and especially 2005 were judged to be truly exceptional!
Chateau l'Évangile has a vinification method where tradition and modern techniques go hand in hand. In 2004, the barrel room and cellars were completely rebuilt to make them more suitable for plot selection. The grapes from each plot are kept separate in batches in order to assess their potential for use in the Grand Vin at the end of fermentation. Traditional and modern winemaking methods are closely linked in all activities of the winery. The fermentation in barrels is carried out using the traditional method of pumping over and controlled maceration, with frequent tasting. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is aged for 18 months in oak barrels.
A strict selection is carried out in the production of Château L'Évangile and the second wine, Blason de L'Évangile. The average production of Château L'Évangile and its second wine Blason de L'Évangile is 5,000 cases.
